Michael Madsen’s brooding charisma needed Tarantino to unlock it | Peter Bradshaw

-
The Reservoir Dogs and Donnie Brasco actor had a rare, sometimes scary power, as well as a winning self-awareness and levity Michael Madsen, star of Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill and Donnie Brasco, dies aged 67 Michael Madsen– a life in pictures Until 1992, when people heard Stuck in the Middle With You by Stealers Wheel on the radio, they might smile and nod and sing along to its catchy soft-rock tune and goofy Dylan-esque lyrics. But after 1992, with the release of Quentin Tarantino’s sensationally tense and violent crime movie Reservoir Dogs, the feelgood mood around that song forever darkened. That was down to an unforgettably scary performance by Michael Madsen, who has died at the age of 67. Stuck in the Middle, with its lyrics about being “so scared in case I fall off my chair”, was to be always associated with the image of Madsen, whom Tarantino made an icon of indie American movies, with his boxy black suit, sinister, ruined handsomeness and powerful physique running ...

In Response To An Interview Given By Hailey Bieber, Selena Gomez Emphasized The Importance Of Being Kind

-
In response to Hailey Bieber's now-viral podcast interview, Selena Gomez gave a short speech about the power of words and the value of being nice. Gomez commented on a Thursday TikTok Live that was recorded and shared on Twitter. "Ironically, I would publish something that's all about good words 'cause that's exactly what I want," she added. At least, that's what E! It's not fair, the Rare Beauty founder told News, because nobody should ever be treated that way. Supporting Rare means representing what it represents, the singer continued, saying that words matter. Gomez, who is 30 years old, ended her message by saying, "Have a fantastic remainder of your day." On Wednesday's episode of the Call Her Daddy podcast, Mrs. Bieber went uncharacteristically honest, revealing that she had spoken to Gomez since marrying the actress' ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber in September 2018. Everybody gives each other the benefit of the doubt. The 25-year-old model claimed that her interactions with Gomez have been "all love" and that there has been "zero drama" between them on a personal level. Hailey pointed out that she owed her nothing. We owe each other nothing except mutual respect. Therefore there's no need for us to be rude. I have great respect for her, and I don't believe any expectations exist [between us]. She has my utmost regard. The Rhode Skin creator revealed that he was able to move on with his life and become engaged to Justin, 28, just months after his final breakup with Gomez because "everyone on our side knows what happened, and we're good." She said, "That has brought me a lot of peace." That which transpired is well known to us. What happens, happens. In a veiled swipe at the legions of rabid Jelena supporters, Hailey said she "never snatched Justin from Gomez" because it's not in her character to do so.

The Portable Door review – Harry Potter-ish YA fantasy carried by hardworking cast

-
Jeffrey Walker’s adaptation of the young-adult fantasy novel retains its edge thanks to its performances, but gets stuck on the whole door thing Adapted from Tom Holt’s 2003 young-adult fantasy novel, this is a passable attempt at kickstarting a new Harry Potter-style franchise set in a fusty-quirky institution, dosed up with extra Gilliamesque grotesquery. Co-produced by the Jim Henson Company, the production design is poky and intense, and the cast – with Christoph Waltz and Sam Neill larking it up – give it their all. But amid all this clutter, it sometimes has trouble moving its story forward. The Portable Door has a nice conceit: the venerable London corporation of JW Wells & Co is responsible for engineering all the daily incidents of coincidence and serendipity that happen in urban life. Not that wet-behind-the-ears intern Paul Carpenter (Patrick Gibson), desperate for any gig, knows the company’s raison d’etre when he signs up. He appears to have no discernible talents wh...
